Heya! I know this is not a new issue people had, but one I think still deserves some attention and possibly, an update. As is, only the main-hand pistol fires unless a ability specifically using the offhand is used, but wouldn’t it be cool if the offhand gun would fire with the main-hand just normally? Here is to hoping I might see the offhand weapon getting it’s own animation for that added firepower I was hoping to see when I first equipped that second gun.

I believe Anet has the intent to make this game completely reactionary, to where everything has a distinct tell and the potential for counter play.. And having off hands randomly do attacks for no reason would be difficult to justify.

…but…

I always hated how off hand weapons often collect dust in combat as you wait to use their moves sparingly and most have high CD’s. I would love a simple quality of life change that let’s you swing with your off hand weapons even if just for its visual appeal.

Perhaps Critting with your #1 ability will cause your off hand to do something…
